Yeah, absolutely. That's what I was taught overseas by that general I got to work with quite a lot. He was like that. He was very, very big on just loving what you do every day and having that real inspiration. And he really taught me that, not forgetting where you come from. You know, he would speak to his private soldiers the exact same way as has his own peers. And I thought that was really amazing. He'd just come around, have a cup of coffee with me in my, in my accommodation in Iraq. And for a two star general to do that, it's quite rare. But he was so, you know, inspiring and just loved by his soldiers. And that's why I thought, well, that's a person I want to be like. And I put a lot of those lessons and took a lot of those lessons into my own business. And if I can, you know, if I can really have, if I can really make a difference in someone's life with the experience that I've had, that's that, you know, to me that's been a good day out and that's my own message that's so great, it's amazing.
